First time time you can go with bare minimum of mods. Just some QoL stuff like purist patch.
I stopped graphic whoring some years ago, all i usually have for graphic mods are upscaled textures and familiar faces + vsbr to have slightly better face meshes and seamless clothed bodies similar to vanilla, just less wooden looking. Though i could do with some nice looking low poly 'touch grass' mods, kinda cool when you walk around in grazelands or west gash region and ground cover has collision. But i'm too lazy to install it.
